The car trouble is a total pain in the butt. Seriously. Where I live, if you're without a car you're totally crippled. Not like in a big city like San Francisco or Toronto or NYC where you don't even need a car because there's so much convenient public transportation. *sigh* Frustrating.

Your stuff is on the way! I threw in a little extra thingy I thought you might like (everyone from LJ is getting something different), so you have a built-in extra gift for giving, or a little something of your own. :-)
